Wookies
Also known as: Girl Scout Wookies, Wookies Cookies, Chewbacca, Cocoon Cookie
Overview
Wookies is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with The White and Chemdawg 91. The strain is credited to the cannabis breeder known as Tierra Rojo out of Denver, Colorado, though no one knows for sure who actually bred this unique blend. The strain has gained considerable popularity in the cannabis community despite being a fairly rare, clone-only strain that is quite difficult to find.
Wookies showcases dense, olive-green buds with fiery orange pistils and is covered in a generous coating of resinous trichomes that give the buds a frosty, sparkling effect. The strain inherits the dense trichomes of The White, the heavenly taste of GSC, and the high potency of Chemdawg 91. Like its Star Wars namesake, the Wookies marijuana strain is hairy-looking and fuzzy, earning it the nickname after the iconic Wookiee character Chewbacca. With approximately a 65 indica/35 sativa ratio split, this strain delivers powerful effects that have made it a favorite among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking potent therapeutic relief.

Growing Information
Wookies is a clone-only strain, so the chances of finding it are very low. Even if you manage to get a clone, growing this strain will be difficult compared to other strains because when the plant grows fully, its top starts to shade the bottom part, requiring careful pruning. The flowering time is 49-70 days, with the flowering period usually taking around 9-10 weeks. Indoor yield is roughly 1 ounce per square foot, and outdoor yields are also less than 1 ounce per square foot. The plant thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures between 70-85°F and moderate humidity levels of 40-50%. Proper growing techniques include regular pruning, careful pest management against spider mites and aphids, and maintaining rich organic soil with balanced nutrients. Professional grower assistance is recommended due to the strain's challenging cultivation requirements.
